I am trying to perform a carrier unlock on my AT&T HTC One so I can use it overseas while I am travelling. I have contacted AT&T and am waiting for an unlock code. In the mean time, I understand I need to be on a stock ROM for the unlock code to work. I have the ROM downloading, but am curious if I need to return the phone completely to stock. My phone is rooted and S-Off - do I need to reverse both of these conditions? I'm also wondering if I need to be on a stock recovery or not.
Thanks!
Josh
It appears that AT&T will not provide an unlock code unless you are out of contract, so it's pointless after all.

I was able to obtain an unlock code from option 5 in this thread:

Loaded a stock ROM, but kept the bootloader unlocked and my custom recovery. Unlock code worked just fine.

I have a sgh-1747m model, i've been trying to figure out how to unlock it to use all carriers (i did this with my htc desire recently) but i'm not sure 100% how this works. if i unlock root access and flash a custom rom will it be unlocked?

No it wont be unlocked. Best way is to ask you carrier to unlock it. Tell them you are going on a trip out of the US and you need it unlocked. If that does not work use one of the many online unlocking services 25-35$.

+1 on asking your carrier to unlock your phone. i just did it recently with tmo online live chat, all i did was tell them i am planning on a trip to overseas and i need my phone to be unlocked. gave them the imei # and a few hours later i was given the unlock code via email. once the phone is unlocked, it will stay unlocked forever no matter what you do to it.
Hey,
I need some help, I want to unlock my AT&T HTC One. I already have the unlock code with me.
But Right now I am on a custom ROM, GPE 4.3. I was inquisitive of two things:
1. If I can unlock my phone from the network while being on Custom ROM?
2. Can I unlock it using an international SIM, which is not working since the roaming is disabled.
To add to the first point, if I can how do I do it? And If I cannot think, I know the method to come to stock. But then again, after I come back to stock, how do I unlock the boot loader again and root the device?
Any help will be highly appreciated. Please let me know as soon as possible, I need to travel soon
I had problems SIM unlocking my AT&T HTC One with GPE conversion as well. It wouldn't unlock at all.
I simply just flashed ViperOne rom and tried the unlock it and it worked. I think you can only unlock with a sense rom but I am no developer so I wouldn't know for sure.
All you have to do is put the other SIM card with the sense rom and the option to unlock with an unlock code should come up and work.

This is a known issue that you can only unlock using a sense rom

I know it may be out of context but I have a sim unlocked AT&T HTC One, so if I'm going to unlock bootloader, root and flash a custom ROM then are there chances that my phone will be SIM Locked again ?

I recently converted by AT&T version to a Google Edition via S-OFF, CID change and Google 4.4 RUU.
AT&T has tried to issue me unlock codes twice, but neither works. I'm using an old t-mobile SIM to attempt the unlock.
Does anyone know if maybe updating the CID impacts the ability to use a carrier unlock code?

Install a stock at&t ROM and try again. In multiple threads it has been said that the at&t unlock code only works on stock roms

I just unlocked on a att stock rom, 4.3 to be exact. Then restored.
is anyone working on unlocking this device. my network won't let me unlock it and i don't want to use a website to unlock. i need to unlock it to use a different sim card and unlock bootloader for cm11 and other rom.
For the sim card I believe you need the assistance of a 'website' (although I dont know if they actually work)
Or your network provider.
Who are you with?
As for the bootloader, head over to this website to unlock your bootloader with sony.
Note that it will probably void your warranty.
... Ok scratch that I cant post links
google this:
Sony unlock Bootloader.

the bootloader allowed is set to no, so i presume i have to unlock the phone before it will allow me to unlock bootloader. how come no one is working on to unlock this phone?
Unlockinh the bootloader is unrelated to network unlocking the phone, as far as I know. But unlocking the bootloader will allow you to network unlock your phone by flashing a custom ROM i think, so I guess they kind of are related. I think you need to talk to your network provider first. That'll help. Otherwise
Try rooting it and go from there. If you can

If your bootloader allowed status is set to "no" you can't unlock your bootloader

Guys What do you thing about placing a bounty for unlocking our devices? Maybe it will encourage devs?

we've got good devs here, i hope they are willing to help us
If a problem doesn't affect a dev, it is not his problem, devs also have their private life /job. Thats why a gratifocation might help (as amply as our pockets can afford it)

Does Sunshine say it can do a carrier unlock? Because last I checked Sprint is CDMA, not GSM...
"Sprint SIM unlock features are considered experimental." If the M9 is like my other HTC phones, the command to s-on is "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" Note: this will brick a device that has any oddities that require s-off like mismatching aboot to firmware, etc. In other words, be sure you are full stock before running the command.

I'm aware that all phones support all of the bands they are just locked...and Sprint last I checked is one that Locks said bands and only "officially" supports CDMA
As I stated earlier, in the sunshine thread, jcase states Sprint carrier unlock is experimental and not guaranteed to work.
yeah i just spoke to them on chat. im going to try to ask for a refund

So you want a SIM unlock? Sunshine is the only method and per the Devs of it, it isn't guaranteed. "SIM unlock for sprint M9 is considered experimental."
Edit: only other way is to call Sprint and have them unlock the SIM. If it's not subsidized, they should have no issues unlocking the SIM.

Worked for me. Then again, I bought my HTC M9 outright from Sprint...
Edit: here is the stipulation on unlocking. Yes, the M9 is capable per this link. Please don't say carrier unlock doesn't work if they state it does and some of us had it happen quite easily...
